I think what Howard is alluding to is that in most cases the push for IPv4 address space conservation has made it, in general , more difficult than it has been in the past to secure entire Class Cs. I agree with Howard that it is more prudent to design an interior IP schema using private addressing and then seek only routable, registered addresses for external Interfaces. My two cents.

[7:26814] Howard, For the sake of IP address conservation, I would like to believe what you say. Unfortunately I happen to know several small companies that were able to secure entire Class C's with nary a protest from their ISP's, and yes they are all globally routed. The most addresses any one of those companies is using within that class range is 10 of those addresses - waste galore. Apparently many ISP's aren't as vigilant as they should be. ""Howard C.
